This cozy hooded, zippered cardigan
is designed to fit snugly underneath a fall jacket,
so you can put off getting out the winter coat as
long as possible.

The deep ribbing in the body is
jazzed up with alternating rope cables, and the sleeves
feature a wide knotwork panel inspired by a pattern
filched from the Book of Kells, using cable techniques
taught by Alice Starmore in her book Aran Knitting.

MATERIALS

The
model was made with a 100% lambswool that I recycled
from a secondhand sweater; a great substitute that
works up to the same gauge is:

Sleeve

Using straight needles, CO 52 sts.Row 1 [RS]: K1, work Row 1 of Chart A to
last st, k1.Row 2 [WS]: K1, work Row 2 of Chart A to

in garter st, until work measures 2 inches, ending
with Row 4 or 8 of Chart A.Next Row [RS]: Work 14 sts in patt, p23
sts, work rem 15 sts in patt. (Chart B show the
placement of this area of reverse stockinette st
-- Chart C will be inserted into this space.)Next Row [WS]: Work in patt as set, cont
center 23 sts in reverse stockinette st.Next Row [RS]: Work 14 sts in patt as set,

work Row 2 of Chart C, work rem 15 sts in patt as

[NOTE: To create the knotwork design, Chart
C will be worked in the following sequence:
Work Rows 1 through 12 once.
Then work Rows 13 through 52 three
times.
Then work Rows 13 through 34 once.
After Row 34, skip to row 53 and
work Rows 53 through 65 once;
this will bring you almost to the top of the shoulder.
This will be done at the same time as all other
shaping. It is advisable to print a copy of the
chart to highlight or mark as needed, to help keep
track of your place in the chart and repeat sequence.]
